Abstract excerpt
CONCLUSIONS: The GG genotype of MDM2 SNP309 is associated with an earlier onset of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in the Japanese population. SNP309 may be a key factor in the tumorigenesis of HNSCC as well as other hereditary or sporadic tumors. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to evaluate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 309 in the MDM2 gene with HNSCC. An MDM2...
